...Habrews represent the fullest form of pure national development. They preserved their national feeling, though they were in contact with other nations from the first moment of their political life. The Old Testament represents the literary element under the Semitic Regime. It follows the order of literary production; folk-lore, followed by a collection of laws and brief annals, then by prophetic discourses, history and poetry,- but with out any philosophy.

The Old Testament is a history of the Hebrews from their own hands and the cuneiform inscriptions give us the history of the Babylonians and Assyrians with whom the Hebrews came much in contact. From the downfall of their mighty civilization, centuries before Christ, their records were lost till the site of Babylon was identified in 1765. It was not till 1848 that the labors of Botta, Place and Layard brought to light several Assyrian palaces and a mass of sculptures and writings...
